The Best Shows on TV This Week (June 28–July 4) • What's Most Popular

The town that traps everyone who drives into it has spent four seasons refusing to let anyone leave. This week closes out season four with “If a Tree Falls in the Forest…,” and Boyd’s plan to get the residents home reaches a breaking point. The creatures still come out after dark, the recent arrivals have scrambled whatever order was left, and the finale lands consequences the show has been building toward for a long time. If you drifted off somewhere mid-season, this is the one to come back for, since it caps the whole run rather than a single thread. It streams on MGM+.

Two hundred years before Game of Thrones, the Targaryens are tearing their own house apart, and season three is now underway. This week is the second episode of the new season, so the civil war that ended the last run keeps widening. Dragons, shifting alliances, and a family that cannot stop turning on itself remain the engine here. HBO has kept the production scale high, and the season is early enough that catching up now takes very little. No episode title has been announced yet. It airs Sunday night on HBO.

Thousands of people live in a giant underground silo, told never to ask what is outside, and season three starts this week. The premiere returns to engineer Juliette and the secrets she has been pulling apart since the first season, when a sheriff broke the one rule that holds the place together. The show trades in slow dread and the sense that every answer costs something. After a gap between seasons, this is a clean point to pick it back up.

Before she was the pink-clad force of the Legally Blonde films, Elle Woods was a teenager, and this new series rewinds to her high school years. The premiere sets up the experiences that shaped her into the character audiences later met, with the optimism and the sharp instincts already taking form. It is the first episode of a brand-new show, arriving this week on Prime Video.

Lestat is out on tour, hounded by figures from his past while his fame grows among vampires and humans alike. This week’s episode, “The Devil’s Road,” sends Armand on an apology tour, prompts Lestat to lash out by humiliating a concertgoer he personally invited, and pushes Louis toward comfort in a familiar face. The series leans hard into Anne Rice’s world of preening immortals and old grudges, with the rock-star framing giving Lestat room to perform.

John Sugar is a private investigator with old-Hollywood manners and a case that keeps turning up buried family secrets. Season two continues this week with its third episode, following Sugar deeper into the work that began with a producer’s missing granddaughter. The show holds onto its noir styling and the steady sense that its detective is not quite who he appears to be.

Two married attorneys, Anna and Tom Bowden, helped put a killer named Max Cady behind bars. Now he is out, and he wants them to pay for it. This adaptation tracks the Bowdens as that threat closes in, and this week brings the sixth episode of its first season. The tension runs on dread and the slow, deliberate approach of a man with nothing left to lose. This show is fresh and started in early June, so there is not much to catch up on yet.

Finn and Jake are back, and this Disney+ continuation sets out to recapture the looser, self-contained adventures of the original’s early years. The series premieres this week with stand-alone trips through the Land of Ooo, built to bring in newer viewers while giving longtime watchers a reason to return.

Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler left the Yellowstone bloodshed behind for 7,000 acres of their own, though peace keeps proving expensive. This week’s episode, “El Padrino,” has them defending that life against a ruthless rival operation while raising Carter into the man they want him to become. The spinoff carries over the hard edges and ranch-country grudges of its parent show, with Beth and Rip still doing whatever the moment demands.

Nine seasons in, the alcoholic genius and his nervous grandson are still ricocheting across dimensions, and the show has not lost its appetite for chaos. This week’s episode, “Erickerhead,” drops them into an all-you-can-eat situation that goes about as well as those usually do for Rick’s stomach. The animation keeps its mix of sci-fi swings and family dysfunction, and the following around it stays large and loud. It is the sixth episode of season nine. It airs Sunday night on Adult Swim.

Returning queens from past seasons compete again for a spot among the franchise’s best, and All Stars is deep into its run this week with its tenth episode. The format keeps the runway, the challenges, and the week-to-week eliminations that built the show into the institution it is. By this point the field has thinned, and the queens still standing are playing for real stakes.

A villa full of singles couple up, get split apart by new arrivals, and try to last to the end without being dumped, all under near-constant filming. The U.S. version is well into its eighth season, and this week’s run of episodes keeps the recouplings and twists coming at the usual pace. It plays out as a near-daily strip, so there is a lot of it to keep up with right now. The drama is the whole point, and the season still has plenty left to sort out.
